  • Locating packaged software in information Systems Research
    European Journal of Information Systems, 2007
    Co-Authors: Ben Light, Steven B Sawyer
    Abstract:

    The papers in this issue focus our attention to packaged software as an increasingly important, but still relatively poorly understood phenomena in the information Systems Research community. The topic is not new: Lucas et al. (1988) wrote a provocative piece focused on the issues with implementing packaged software. A decade later, Carmel (1997) argued that packaged software was both ideally suited for American entrepreneurial activity and rapidly growing. The information Systems Research community, however, has moved more slowly to engage this change (e.g., Sawyer, 2001). The papers in this special issue represent a significant step in better engaging the issues of packaged software relative to information Systems Research, and highlighting opportunities for additional relevant Research.

  • Taking industry seriously in information Systems Research
    MIS Quarterly, 2005
    Co-Authors: Mike W. Chiasson, Elizabeth J. Davidson
    Abstract:

    In this essay, we argue that industry receives little attention in information Systems Research and theory, despite its increasingly important influence on IS activities. This is evident both in the narrow range of industries examined in IS Research and the infrequent consideration of industry in theory. We base these observations on an analysis of IS publications in two top-tier journals (MIS Quarterly and Information Systems Research) over eight years. Drawing from institutional theory, we consider various ways industry can be addressed and assess how industry influences IS activities. We conclude that industry provides an important contextual "space" to build new IS theory and to evaluate the boundaries of existing IS theory. We outline a range of strategies for incorporating industry into IS Research.
